Perforating pilomatricoma in a process of total elimination

J Am Acad Dermatol. 2003 Aug;49(2 Suppl Case Reports):S146-7. doi: 10.1067/mjd.2003.322.

Abstract

Perforating pilomatricoma is a rare clinical variant of pilomatricoma. We report a case of pilomatricoma with ulceration indicating total elimination. The lesion consisted mainly of laminating shadow cells surrounded by invaginating epidermis. We believe that this case can be considered within the category of perforating pilomatricoma.
